I have been checking up on my androctonus sp using LED light on my phone for 10 mins at max like once a week but sometime every other day. does anyone know if this is dangerous to my scorpion? I know that UV light is harmful to their eyes and it cause other health issues as well but idk about LED light.

Phone LEDs emit in the visible light spectrum. Very unlikely to reach into the UV.

so, Is it possible to make them blind with LED?
Short answer, yes. BUT, temporary or permanent, unknown. Wavelength of lights, unknown. Harmful energy, unknown. What power is the LED, unknown. Quality control of manufacture of them, unknown.
